About



Helen Palmenteri is an artist, mother, and art educator.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. It's hard to spell, hard to say and it has changed my life dramatically. Pronouncing the term is difficult but not nearly as difficult as trying to live with it.
I was diagnosed in late Spring in 2018. Parenting, making art and attempting with all my might to maintain a career teaching may seem like a lot to a healthy individual. Sometimes I can only choose one of those things a day. Sometimes, my body makes choices for me. This is my place to share my art, my writing and love.
Sincerely,
Helen
